A DECREASING BIRTH Rate.
Some Interesting Facts Concerning the
Growth of the United Kingdom.

Some Interesting Facts Concerning the
Growth of the United Kingdom.
An eminent British statistician, Mr.,
Mulhal, has contributed some interesting
information lately on the subject of the
growth Of the United Kingdom, which
contains, at tie same time, many encOur-
aging and discouraging facts. Mr.. Mulhall
finds, for instance, that while the pOpula-
ton of the United Kingdom is increasing
only - per cent. per decade, its wealth
Is growing % per cent. during the same
time, its trade 30, and its shipping 81.
In vital statistics it is shown that the
death rate is rapidly decreasing, that
fewer children die and that people live to
much greater age than formerly. But
what particularly strikes Mr.. MulhaH and
alarms him for the future Of Great Brit
ain is the fact that the proportion of
births to the population is steadily de-
creasing and has been decreasing for
years. Births per 1000 of population
fell off about > 1-2 per cent a year in the
period 1SSl-85, as compared with 1876
so, while the marriage rate declined only
l 12 per cent.
Mr.. Mulhall recognizes the fact that
these figures give ground for an appre-
hensiOn of physical decadence, and calls
upon the British Medical association to
make report upon it at the next session.
Examining the figures by geographical
divisions he finds that the natural in
crease in population, or the excess of
births over deaths, is at the rate of IA per
1000 inhabitants in England and Wales,
1879 in Scotland and only GA in Ireland.
This IS especially significant in view of
the fact that marriages are not as child
less in Ireland as in England, and more
children are born to each marriage; but
on the other hand, the marriage rate in
Ireland is now the lowest in the world,
and steadily declining in consequence of
the emigration of men and women in the
prime of life. The result of this low
birth rate is very unfavorable to the
country, the decrease in births amounting
to $4,000 per year, as compared with the
last decade
Such facts as these are always alarm
ing. but a low birth rate seems to come
with civilization and wealth. France has
reached nearly stationary position in re-
gard to population, the number of births
being just sufficient to keep up the
population. New England has about
reached that state, and its popula-
ton would in all probability decline but
for immigration, and Mr.. Mulhall's figures
would Indicate that Great Britain, which
In the past poured forth millions of people
to COLOMBO the world, is rapidly approach
ing that condition of physical decadence
where the number of births will be barely
sufficient to prevent decline in the popu-
lation of the country.-New Orleans

SnIphnr in the Air.

The quantity of burnt sulphur that
escapes into the air is very great. Seven
and half millions of tons of coal are
annually consumed in London. Now,
the average amount of sulphur in Eng
lish coal is 1 IA per cent. That would
give $3.50 tons of sulphur burned every
year in London fires. If we consider
that on an average twice the quantity of
coal is consumed ON winter day that is
consumed on a summer day, no less than
347 tons of sulphur are thrown into the
atmosphere every winter day in London.
This is an alarming quantity, quite suff1-
cient to account for the density of the
fOgs in that city. But would it be adj
visable to diminish the escape of sulphur
from the chimneys? Is it not better to
''bear the ills of the fogs than Fly to
Others" which the absence of sulphur
might encourage? Burned sulphur is
not an unmitigated evil. During the
fOgs the air is still and stagnant; there is
no current to clear away the deadly
germs that are being vomited into the
air from the pestilential hotbeds of the
lowest sluns. These death laden germs
might be more fatal in the propagation
Of the disease if the deodorizing and
antiseptic properties of the sulphur were
not busy at wOrk.-BostOn Herald.

Not Lazy by any Means.

There is not so much laziness in the
worm as people want to make out. We
all work, but it's always the other people
who are lazy. Now take the case of that
wealthy traveller who lived at one of our
hotels. He did not need to work. He
did not work; but what do you mean by
calling a man lazy who could be the hero
Of this story? He had a most expensive
suite of rooms and no end of extras. A
friend went up to call on him in the fore
noon and found him just at breakfast
He was drinking tea and eating toast and
things. His manner was easy and de-
iberate He had finished the cup, and
ne looked calmly into it. Then he rose
and walked across the room and rung the
bell. The servant came. 'AhI" he
said, "Walter, l want another cup of
.ea. Certainly, sir, - said the waiter,
and he calmly walked to the table, took
up the teapot and poured the tea into the
;up. ''Thanlz you,' said the English
nan. and went on with his breakfast

fire..

At about half-past 10 o'clock last
night the fire bells sounded an alarm
of fire. The location of the fire was
soon pretty generally known through
the telephones. 1t was on Nuuanu
street, near Hotel street, one door
above Perry's corner, in an old
wooden building, one half of which
was occupied as dry goods store
and the other half as a grocery store.
The fire companies were soon on the
spot, and had their engines placed in
various positions, with four powerful
streams of water pouring on to the
burning building. In the brief period
between the sounding of the alarm
and the arrival OF the firemen at the
scene of the fire, the flames acquired
considerable Roadway, and shot up
skyward, creating the impression
among people at q distance that
several buildings were ablaze. Engine
Company No. 4 got first water on,
and somewhat checked tle flames by
a flow from the hydrant before they
had raised sufficient head of steam
to be serviceable. When the four
engines came into play they threw a
force of water that extinguished all
the fire which was easily reached, in
less time than it takes to describe it.
The burning inside being hard to see
| and reach, was not SO easily con-
quered, and took more time The
fire was not only confined to the
structure in which it originated,
without damage to the adjoining
buildings, but even that was only
partially destroyed, the frame work
still standing,
The premises were owned by Mrs
Perry, and were insured In the
Northern Insurance Co., Messrs
Davies & Co., agents, for $4,000. The
stock in the dry goods and grocery
stores, Cunha & Co., proprietors
were insured by the company above
named for $4,000. There is nothing
known of the origin OF the fire, but j,
is supposed by some TO have origi
mated by mice or cockroaches ignit
ing matches.
A large room over the stores was
used as meeting hall by Portu
guese society. There had been nj
meeting there last night. A DO!
about Us years old, named JOIN
Silva, engaged in the stores, slept il
a small room upstairs. After TIN
fire was extinguished and the fire
men had retired, this lad was foun'
dead in his room. Suffocation appear
to have been the cause of death, 70
he was uninjured by fire, beyond
slight scorching OF one hand. II
was partially dressed, having shir
and pants on.

A SURPRISE PARTY.

Mrs. w. H. Wilkinson, residing on
Liliha street, reached stage in life
yesterday that was an anniversary OF
her birth. This was no surprise.
She knew it was coming, and was
quite aware that it had arrived. But
when, at about o'clock in the even
ing, company of her personal
friends suddenly appeared at her
residence, with music, ice cream,
cake, etc, she was surprised, genu-
inely surprised. Her quiet reveries
were so abruptly disturbed, that for
few seconds she was unable to
understand the meaning of the visit
and the jubilation. But having re-
covered her senses and realizing the
situation, the house was hrown open
and the visitors took possession. A
couple of hours were passed very
pleasantly, after which the company
retired, wishing the hostess "many
happy returns of the day"
